Extending the 3.x Timeline

Previously 3.9 was the last planned feature release for 3.x and bug fix releases
were planned to stop after June 15 2021. Because of continued interest and
usage of 3.x we’ve decided to extend the 3.x maintenance timeline and release
3.10. The new timelines are:

• 3.10 will continue to receive bug fixes until December 15 2021.
• 3.10 will continue to receive security fixes until December 15 of 2022.

Updating to the RC

You can use composer to upgrade to the beta version of CakePHP 3.10.0:

php composer.phar require --update-with-dependencies "cakephp/cakephp:^3.10.0"

What’s new in 3.10.0?

The shortlist of features included in 3.10 is as follows:

• Improved API documentation.
• Backported improvements to Validation::time() from 4.x.
• EmailTrait::assertMailSentFrom() now accepts an array with an address
  & alias.
